okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual — this page lives in the gnutls corner of your man pages and it's all about one lil function called gnutls_ecc_curve_get. it's giving "short and sweet but lowkey important" 💅 let's go 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_ecc_curve_get — literally just an API function, that's the whole job description 🎀

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

yes bestie, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, one argument. no cap ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_session_t session — it's a gnutls_session_t type, periodt. that's the session you're passing in, and she's the main character here 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she actually do? she returns the elliptic curve that's currently being used for key exchange 💫

⚠️ major caveat alert: this is only valid when you're using an elliptic curve ciphersuite. if you're not on an ECC ciphersuite, don't come for her, she's not applicable, okay? 😭
